Although Michigan stands out as the biggest rivalry for both schools, No. 10 Ohio State and No. 18 Michigan State have a lot of tension themselves. And the truth is that the recent games between these two Big Ten programs have had a much greater impact on the conference for much of the last decade. After all, these teams met in Indianapolis for the Big Ten title in 2013. From 2014, when they joined the same division, their annual meeting helped to decide the conference. Ohio State won the 2014 and 2017 games – and the Big Ten East both seasons. In 2015, it was the state of Michigan that emerged victorious and continued to win the division.

Since the 2010 season, when Michigan State emerged for the first time as a contender in the Big Ten, these games have had a significant impact on the entire conference several times. This season, we are promised the same because even though Michigan State has little chance of winning the Big Ten, it could still end the Ohio State play-off hopes. As for the state of Ohio, it would be much harder to win the Big Ten if he were to lose to the Spartans, and he simply has to win and win the conference if he hopes to have a prayer to do the College Football Playoff.

Another year, another significant game between Ohio State and Michigan State. Let's take a look and see what happens Saturday in East Lansing, Michigan.

storylines

State of Ohio: After a loss of 49-20 from Purdue a few weeks ago, it seemed that the entire country had written the Buckeyes. They went from being undefeated and the Big Ten favorite to an afterthought. After struggling to beat Nebraska at home last week, this perception has not been shaken. But this is still a dangerous team. This is still an Ohio team that boasts the best collection of talent in the Big Ten and has the ability to make a run to the playoffs; he just needs to strengthen the defense and find his identity. If he can not, chances are he will not leave East Lansing with a win.

State of Michigan: It was a strange season for the Spartans. They are currently 6-3 and are ranked at number 18 in the CFP standings. While his defense continues to lead the way, the crime has struggled powerfully in 2018. That's why we saw this team lose games that should have won against Arizona State and Northwestern. That's why he never had a chance against Michigan. Yet despite these shortcomings, he also went on the road and beat Penn State. It's Purdue's team that has scored 49 points on Ohio State at 13. It's a team that is able to lose against anyone and beat someone, and you never know which team will show up until the 39; beginning will not be in the air. So which team will we see against the state of Ohio?

Prediction of the game, choices

You might think that the state of Ohio should not be favored on the road against this Michigan state team, but what would happen if I told you that the State of Ohio has not lost the State of Michigan to East Lansing since 1999? ? That's right, the Buckeyes have won six wins at Spartan Stadium. And while this is an Ohio team that has many defense concerns, unlike Purdue and Nebraska, I do not think the state of Michigan has an offense capable of exploiting them. I do not know if this is a game of "rightly" for the Buckeyes, but I think it is a spread that will cover. Pick: Ohio State -3.5
